It is a (small) regression to 3.7.10 with intel integrated graphics i915 - but nevertheless :
With an external VGA display (1680x1050) and a closed internal LVDS1 display (1440x900) the external display starts X11 with 1440x900 - for kernel 3.7.x. With 3.8.2 (and .1) now the external display is driven with just 800x600. -- MfG/Sincerely Toralf F?rster pgp finger print: 7B1A 07F4 EC82 0F90 D4C2 8936 872A E508 7DB6 9DA3
